Watching You, Watching You

Yes, it's true. I thought Hall and Oates' "Private Eyes" was a warning that my parents (and everyone else's) had hired, well, Magnum-like employees to follow my actions so they could ground me at any moment. In my case, I was totally boring and only hoping for activities that required surveillance. (Years later I would "sneak out" to the tennis courts (gasp!) in pajamas during a dare, but the only real offense there had to do with footed PJs.) Rover Dramawerks' production of Private Eyes has nothing to do with Hall and Oates or footed pajamasas far as we can tell. It's a play within a play, a love triangle, a doctor's visit. In other words, it's the entertaining romantic comedy we wished we were living back when private eyes saw our every move. Check out Private Eyes 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays (with an extra performance January 27 at 2 p.m.) at Cox Building Playhouse, 1517 H Avenue in Plano. Tickets are $13 to $16.

Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sat., Jan. 27, 2 p.m. Starts: Jan. 19. Continues through Feb. 10
